Title: US National Listing of Bitcoin Income Tax Specialists for tax returns due 2014
Post by: soy on November 23, 2013, 07:33:15 PM
Okay, I've briefly scanned http://bitcointax.info and decided I need professional assistance with the tax return due April 15, 2014.

If professional income tax consultants with a focus on Bitcoin would reply with your city in the subject then address and telephone number in the body, I think it would be a service and a useful database.

That is if it doesn't violate bitcointalk.org rules in any way.

Thanks.

Wow.  Nice document, but I only skimmed it for the parts that interested me as a private speculator.  It seems to match what my CPA (who is not a specialist in crytpo-currencies) seems to think in several important ways.

I would cation people who are long term speculative investors to be careful to NOT set up any sort of business or LLC without consulting a qualified tax specialist.  Without qualified help I might have made this mistake in order to attempt to have less friction on the banking side of the equation.

I'll probably be making a donation to the author of this document in the future in order to express my appreciation.

The humor escaped me, JoJo.  It would be academically interesting to me to know an explanation.

BTW, your sig block text did not escape me and I appreciated it.

The sig is credit due to Holiday

By the GIF i meant to imply that there is no jurisdiction with the power to tax Bitcoin, we have reached escape velocity, the nation state is obsolete.

Ah, I see.  That was my best guess.  I'm mainly taking the other side of that bet, but I hope you and Holiday are right.

In fact, to me Bitcoin's biggest promise is that it may prove a viable tool/weapon to use in unpleasant future scenarios and I'll put some effort into trying to foster that.  That this would entail also a decrease the government's power to trivially raise tax revenue is mostly coincidental to me.  That is to say, from a philosophical point of view taxes bother me less than bail-ins like forms of theft, and especially loss of privacy which I consider a basic human right the loss of which is dangerous in all kinds of situations.
